Craftsmanship:

Medium: High-temperature color glaze on ceramic panel.
The Alchemy of Fire: Fired at 1300°C, this piece is created solely through the natural transformation of mineral glazes.
Pure Expression: Unlike traditional ceramics, Lee uses no additional pigments or painting layers. The entire scene emerges from the artist’s mastery of Yaobian (kiln transformation) a delicate balance between human control and the soul of the fire.

Key Features & Originality:

This is not a print or mass-produced craft, but a 1/1 original co-created by fire and glaze.
Under extreme heat, the minerals flow and crystallize into intricate textures that are impossible to replicate or imitate.
You possess a unique existence born from the kiln—an artwork that will never appear exactly the same way again in this world.

This piece belongs to a body of work exploring the fragile boundary between botanical form and material transformation. At high temperatures, mineral pigments shift, soften, and settle unpredictably, allowing kiln fire to become a co-creator in the final composition.

The orchid its petals dissolve into soft violet tones, while the stems hold a calm structural rhythm, anchored by layers of glaze and granular ceramic texture.

Speckled surfaces and subtle kiln marks remain visible across the background, preserving traces of heat, gravity, and time. Each imperfection is part of the work’s living surface.
